Abstract

SummaryExplosions never happen at random, they have their exact laws. And sometimes they need very little – high dust concentration, turbulence and ignition source, often spontaneous combustion. If these conditions are met, explosions always follow. It needs to be mentioned that all organic substances are explosive, for example starch, flour, dried milk, sugar, cocoa, pharmaceuticals, textiles, wood and coal dust and others. The highest risk of explosion primarily threatens factories, where they work with dust in any way. Explosions occur directly in pieces of technological equipment during milling, drying, pneumatic or mechanical transport, storage and filtration, and they usually have fatal consequences. Unfortunately organic substance explosion do not only destroy the equipment, they also often kill.
